Yes, of course WISHING YOU ALL the very best for the New Year.
@Faith-and-Hope i need to emotionally block someone that I continue to meet on and offline. Then
i thought of your line about teflon non stick fry pans... lol... have to get her out of my head and into a very small space, like a match box, which is all she deserves.

So good to see you here @Zoe7 and @Sans911 …. I know I have been absent too …..
Thanks so much @Snowie - the cold is finally starting to shift. I knew I was overdoing it, but my year’s work would have been wasted if I didn’t get myself across a couple of finish lines.
@Appleblossom it’s good to visualise how to reduce someone in your imagination / memory / environment. I often imagine myself as a “peaceful warrior”, shield raised against someone who is invasive in whatever way.
Hi to anyone else here 👋💕

Love your peaceful warrior with shield raised
thanks for reminding me...
hello lovely ladies
I have been away at a music festival with day and night on the train .. or a bus replacement. It can be great watching the eucalypts and bush flow past in the windows...

Thanks @Eve7 it was 6 days of festival and 24 hours train travel each way. Its a pretty special environment and culture and community Some people drive, and take a few days, but I feel safer going by public transport. I have done it about 6 times, so slowly there are familiar friendly faces. It has really helped reduce my isolation, which was extreme at the time I joined the forum. I have come a long way. since then. Hope you are doing well.

Hey @Snowie 👋💕
I am trying to find some life balance between continuing to restructure my life, and getting enough rest. Still battling a cold, but I think it is on its way out …… 🙏
There is so much to sort out in packing boxes that I feel like I am wading through a swamp, but taking on the swamp is the only way I am gonna get to the other side of it all.
Hope y’all are keeping well 😘💕♥️

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom @Snowie @Eve7 @Sans911 @Shaz51
A week and a half left of the holidays and I cannot believe how quickly it has gone. I have been doing a lot outside but a little restricted by not being able to afford some things I need as well as trying to look after my back. It is a little frustrating but it is what it is. There is nothing that cannot wait (I have already put a couple of things on my list on the backburner for another holidays).
@Faith-and-Hope Always lovely to see you pop in Hon 🥰
@Appleblossom Lovely to see you are continuing your music and enjoying time away at a festival ❤️
@Snowie Need to go into school to sort out the classroom as I moved rooms for this year. Problem is I deleted the message to know when someone will be at school so waiting for that to be resent to find out when I can go in. No drama though - have a bit of time over the first 3 student free days so can get things done then if need be.
